I think I remember (or at least part of it because it was asked about 2 years ago) that I read that some people were asking about what kind of gastronomy this world had, where they get their food, and if there are also non-anthropomorphic animals there from which to extract edible resources (and pets as well), and the artist commented that for the moment, all of that things would be in a “stand-by” to explain, due of how complicated the things become once you start to deal with those subjects.

I used to be a regular reader of Dan and Mab’s Furry Adventures (can’t keep up so I only check back sporadically now). Miss Mab once made a Q&A strip about livestock in that universe, explaining there was wildlife (and livestock) of non-anthro animals living alongside the anthros. Thought maybe Tim himself could use that to rationalize away his anthros, too.

I can’t see how he could rationalize the collars with tags though. I’m assuming he got that off of Housepets, but this universe has nothing to explain collars.

I’m not rejecting your explanation.
However, the situation you describe would be very different. We *have* seen collars, used for a specific purpose. That’s not like someone who’s never seen pants before.
Your analogy may work with neckties though, seeing they look a bit like leashed/tagged collars.

Never been a fan of real world animals among anthros (even the existence of Arthur’s dog Pal bothered me when I was a kid!) but in this universe furries are the top of the food chain. No humans except fiction such as video games. Cows and such are also furries here, so games where you milk them simply won’t be mentioned in comic because that would be a naughty game here xD

Still don’t see why everyone bought it. It’s just like a Wii U but without the actual console; It’s not better. Plus Zelda came out for the Wii U! And from what I can tell, it was actually made FOR the Wii U considering how the hud looks.
